Mason Greenwood was compelled to leave Manchester United due to controversies surrounding his personal life. The leadership of Man Utd found themselves compelled to make a decision regarding Greenwood’s future and ultimately chose to part ways with the young English player. This decision deviated from their initial plan of reintegrating him into the team following a lengthy suspension stemming from accusations of forced rape and sexual assault, which he was later acquitted of in February of this year.
Currently, the 21-year-old player is actively seeking a new club. Reports suggest that former Man Utd captain Mourinho reached out to Mason Greenwood directly, expressing interest in a potential transfer to AS Roma. Additionally, there are rumors that Al Ettifaq, in line with the ongoing trend of star players moving to Saudi Arabia, has also expressed interest in signing Greenwood.
However, according to The Sun, Mason Greenwood may encounter difficulties in securing a move to the Middle Eastern country due to a perceived rift between him and Cristiano Ronaldo. It is claimed that Greenwood’s actions, such as prioritizing personal shots over team coordination, did not sit well with Ronaldo upon his return to Man Utd in 2021. A source close to Ronaldo, as reported by The Sun, stated, “Ronaldo is treated like a king in Saudi Arabia. His influence carries significant weight. CR7 has enough clout to dissuade Saudi Pro League clubs from pursuing Mason Greenwood if they so wish.”
